toddtmw Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hi. @19Echo sent me a bunch of disks for evaluation and dumping. I'm still going through them but one set caught my eye. It is a set of a whole lot of PAPIE (Professional Atari Programmer's Exchange) disks. I loaded up the first one and it looks like Antic had programmers who were REQUIRED to submit something every month. I'm assuming these disks are the collection of that. There are 17 double-sided diskettes. I used Happy Sector Copier to copy most of them. Some of them were labelled on the disk as having sector or track issues so any disk that got any errors, I kryofluxed and converted to .atr. Those are marked with a (K). Except one, that only had one error and completed, I left that one and then labelled the one with the same name with (Kryoflux). Anyway, even thought they are not original and some of them are on Atarimania, I thought I would share them here for others to look at. Big thanks to @19Echo for sending me these disks.

www.atarimania.com Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks a lot, it appears Antic offered only a fraction of what actually existed so it's great to have these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Side 11c ATR a very nice to me is the pokey player basic programs and the supplied sound files (i.e) TEXAS.V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddtmw Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 You got to Side 11c already??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Lots of routines but also some demos, game betas, tools… that would've been lost without your help Seems there's some source code for a Centipede clone as well. Here are three previously unseen games: Blockade.bas Laser Maze.bas Sex Quiz.bas Blockade seems to be a preliminary version of the program that was later picked up by Artworx (and currently missing in action).

_The Doctor__ Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I'm thinking there is way more stuff to get through, might be easier / best to archive it all and then let the Atari Age Archivist crew have at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
